Question

Which of the following statements is false?

a. Co-mingling innovation from core businesses is key to encouraging new market and technology development focus.
b. Top technical talent will often not be assigned to experimental products, or they may be pulled off emerging efforts to work on the firm's most lucrative offerings, if the next version of a major product is delayed, or in need of staff.
c. As disruptive technologies emerge, they eventually take market share away from a firm's higher-margin incumbent offerings.
d. Piloting a firm through disruptive innovation is extremely difficult because the new effort can result in revenue compression.

Answer 1

b. Top technical talent will often not be assigned to experimental products, or they may be pulled off emerging efforts to work on the firm's most lucrative offerings, if the next version of a major product is delayed, or in need of staff.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember, we are to select the false statement from the list. Logically speaking, we would not expect an effective company to assign less-qualified people for a job especially when it is needed urgently, however, they would want top-technical talent employees on the job.

Hence, a careful examination of the various statements leads us to conclude that only option b is false.
